jetmech72

Well, the JetMech part is pretty self-explaining (I work on jets, F/A-18s). I had to add the "72" because jetmech was already taken. 72 is the hull number for the USS Abraham Lincoln (a ship that I've spent a lot of time on) and, coincidently, the year I was born. So there ya have it, jetmech72.

Just to add to my last post, I want to give an example. I'm planning to go to Paso Robles (wine country) to check out some of the wineries there. There is a Virtual Cache along the way, the "James Dean" cache. While I was reading about the cache, I scrolled down and selected "nearby" caches to see what was hidden near this cache and low and behold there are some Regular Caches placed near some historical buildings south of there, so I started down loading these caches as well. Now I have built up 16 caches that I plan to find on my trip to Paso, as well as paying respects to a Hollywood Legend. jetmech72

Virtual caches are usually historical in value or are unique to the surrounding area, but most importantly they are surrounded by Regular Caches. So if you are planning a road trip and want to see something unique or historical and cross a few caches off of your list at the same time, simply find a Virtual Cache and start selecting other caches from the "nearby" list and build up some co-ords to download to your GPS and turn your road trip into an exciting and educational cache hunting adventure. Happy Hunting, jetmech72.
